Thank God the data guy got the wrong Lopez. As a Chenford fan, I admit part of me squealed, and yes, it is possible to like Rachel and ship them at the same time. Final ThoughtsĪs a Rachel fan, I am sad to see her potentially leave L.A. It’s a nice reminder to have when cynicism is one of the reigning emotions in the world today. Jokes aside, it may be one of the hardest choices to stick to when we put faith in people, but sometimes it really comes through. You take help where you can get it when lives are at stake.

That, and smooth-talking a selfish criminal into helping them rescue a prison warden. Despite getting people scoffing him at every turn for his faith in people, in the end, it proved to be the thing that saved him and Harper from getting overtaken by a rioting prison mob. The rookie of the night, though, easily goes to John Nolan. That’s after I literally laughed at him for being named Elvis by his dad’s. It was hard to see this confident data genius get a crash course in that reality. Data science and predictability can help with a lot in our world, but people will never be included in that. The nail biter scene of West and Lopez running into danger with an active shooter on the loose was equally nerve-wracking. It was flat out terrifying when the inmates surrounded Nolan and Harper. If I had to bet on any show coming close, though, it would be The Rookie. On television no less, God knows how that’s dialed up that is in real life. Relationship drama aside, the heart-stopping pace of the prison riot & active shooter was another stark reminder of how difficult and dangerous being a police officer is. Literally, every single moment as a police officer certainly is. Yes, I’m super cheesy, you can blame the quarantine induced time to read a lot of romance right now. Because let’s face it, love is always worth the wait. I don’t believe for a second this is a permanent end for these two, but if it’s a slow-burn that we are in for, I’m here for the ride.

That’s one of the most relatable choices in the world. I hated Grace chose to leave her relationship with Nolan, where she was happy, but she put her son first.

On the heart-wrenching side was a breakup I was afraid would happen the second that Simon (ugh) showed up.ĭoing the right thing sometimes means putting others first, even when its one of the hardest choices ever.
